Question
The young wild rabbit living in my yard will only eat leafy greens and grass,  will not eat the alfalfa hay I put out for it.   Question, can it remain healthy without the alfalfa?

Answer
Hi Marge,

I am sure he will be fine. I am sure there are times when your not seeing what elce it eats during the day and is getting its fiber from somewhere elce. wild rabbits eat and have more virity of fiber then our pet bunnys thats why we feed hay.
